Diet Bet - Make some $ when you lose weight

NJTeacher411

Hey everyone,

Just came upon this website: www.dietbet.com

Basically you pledge an amount, say $25 and it goes into a pot. You want a piece of the pot? Just lose 4% of your total body weight in 4 weeks. Not bad, right? You can join up groups already started or make your own. I know what your saying. How do they know that people aren't cheating. They have a system of weight "referees". If they suspect someone of cheating, they ask for further proof such as a Skype weigh-in or a video. It seems very interesting. Before I join a group, I was wondering if you guys wanted to start a MFP group?

And before someone asks, I DO NOT have ANY affiliation with this site. Just thought it was cool and a interesting way to motivate people to lose weight.

I'm doing this now. I don't expect to win much, but I hope to at least get my $$ back.

I did this once, the buy in was $35, I hit my goal and ended up getting about $15 back as well as my original $35. If you're motivated by not losing money its great. I would recommend it.

I would join if the bet wasn't too high... say like under $30
